Wow, what a debut by Brenda Jackson. This book was written and published 25 years ago and is still a classic. The chemistry between Justin and Lorren was immaculate. Coming from different ends of heartbreak, they grew to love each other and taking a risk on love. They both discovered that if they didn't take a risk then, they would've lost each other for good. Brenda Jackson writes stories in a way that makes readers believe that there's a chance for true love. How the characters connect and exemplify their true love is so bomb!

This was my first ever Brenda Jackson read and I was not disappointed.
Lorren has moved away from her life in CA following a tumultuous relationship with her ex-husband. The dysfunction she experienced in her marriage has not just left her hurt, but completely distrusting of future relationships and romance. In an attempt to heal and move on, she is trying to focus on herself and her career. But this is not made easy when she encounters Justin, the local doctor who too, recently moved into their small town in TX and has had his heart broken.
Lorren and Justin balanced each other out; whenever Lorren attempted to retreat within herself or push him away, he always found a way to assure her that he wasn't going anywhere and was determined to make things work. But it was done so in a way that did not ignore her issues with having her boundaries and wishes respected.
I will say, as much as I enjoyed my reading experience, I quickly tired of all the fade to black scenes. And there were some things that did not age too well, but that was to be expected given that this was originally published in the 90s. However, I look forward to making my way through the author's [rather extensive] backlist.

3 months in a 90s book? Wow that’s practically a slow burn.
